Best ham loaf east of anywhere

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 30, 2009 - 6:11pm

Bluffton ham loaf

Note: I grew up thinking that every kitchen had a metal manual meat grinder that attached to the kitchen table. I didn't realize until I looked for the meat grinder in our present home that one didn't come with the house. So, to create this ham loaf, unless you have such a meat grinder, you'll have to stop in at The Dough Hook and ask for the ham loaf already ground. I've asked several meat cutters in larger super markets to grind a pound of ham and a pound of pork. The result of this request was a blank stare.
